Strawberry Balsamic Sweet Onion Jam is a rich, savory-sweet spread that blends juicy strawberries with slow-cooked sweet onions and a splash of tangy balsamic vinegar. The result is a glossy, flavorful jam with notes of caramelized onion and bright fruit, perfect for pairing with cheeses, spreading on sandwiches, or serving alongside roasted meats.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 4 cups fresh strawberries, stems removed, crushed
• 1 1/2 cups diced sweet onion
• 1 tsp butter to reduce foaming
• 1 box Sure-Jell or powdered fruit pectin
• 7 cups granulated sugar

Instructions

• In a large pot, over high heat, add the strawberries, onions, butter, balsamic vinegar, and pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil (one that doesn't stop while stirring). Add the sugar and return to a full rolling boil. Boil hard for one (1) minute.
• Remove the pot from the heat. Ladle the jam into your hot jars, you want them filled to within ¼" of the top rim. Be sure to wipe the top rim of the jars with a damp paper towel to get off any drips or spills. Cover each jar with a lid and a ring.
• Process jars 10 minutes in a boiling water bath or steam canner. Remove jars and allow them to cool 24 hours undisturbed on your kitchen countertop. Jars are sealed when the button on the top of the lid is fully depressed and won't move up and down.
